English term

English to German
Tech/Engineering
IT (Information Technology)
Data Storage
As simple as this term must be, it is nowhere to be found in the English-German glossary list. The closest I could come was Sicherungskopie, but this is hardly a verb.
Surely, there must be a standard industry term for this very common task. The last time I was in Germany the only people who used computers were scientists.
Once the verb is known, it should be easy to discover the corresponding adjective and noun -- namely, back-up.

Context (a complete sentence) would help!

Comment: "I would like to thank everyone for their terrific input. I found all of the terms equally good. I chose this answer as best, as it offers a nearly one-to-one correspondence with what will now become a good starting point for the gloss entry.
Judging from your answers you understood well the context of the entry even without a sentence. It wasn't as if i left you without a clue . . . ."
